This is a poem I wrote a while back for a guy I was seeing at the time, tonight I am dedicating it in honor of Michael Hutchence on what would have been his 56th Birthday.  To be absolutely honest, I think I actually wrote this for Michael, though I wasn't consciously aware of it at the time.  Happy Birthday, Michael, to a beautiful, gentle soul who left us way too soon ...

                                                                   A Reuniting of Sorts (Take 1)

                                                                               I feel this,

                                                                                       sadness in my heart...

                                                                         such intense,

                                                                 infinite sadness ...

                                                                                                 Who be you

                                                                       to engrave yourself so deeply

                                                                                 within my soul?

                                                                  Yet still come and go like

                                                       the wind that blows so fiercely within

                                                                            you ...

                                                                                                         ... listen! ...

                                                            To the voice that

                                                                                       whispers from within ...

                                                                    The one that cries out to be heard,

                                                                           the one that will not let you rest

                                                                                        until you are filled...


                                                                                    ... your secret needs ...
